September 4 (Renewables Now) - German company Nordex SE (ETR:NDX1) will be supplying wind turbines for the 99-MW Energetica wind project in Argentina under a newly signed deal with a unit of AES Corporation (NYSE:AES).

Nordex said today it has received an order from AES Argentina Generacion for the supply of 30 units of the AW132/3300 turbines. The company will be assembling the machines and producing the 120-metre high concrete towers locally.
